paralell_rspec with options --exclude-pattern

Question

Trying to exclude the specs in the /home dir during the parallel run.

Tried a few things similar to the following:

parallel_rspec myproj -n 4 -o '--exclude-pattern "myproj/spec/home/*_spec.rb"'

parallel_rspec ./myproj -n 4 -o '--exclude-pattern "./myproj/spec/home/*_spec.rb"'

But it does not exclude specs in the /home dir. It runs all specs in myproj.

The following commands do exclude specs in /home dir but I need to run them in parallel:

rspec myproj --exclude-pattern "myproj/spec/home/*_spec.rb"

rspec ./myproj --exclude-pattern "./myproj/spec/home/*_spec.rb"

I always used the rake task for that as advised here:

ParallelRSpec::RakeTask.new(:prspec) do |t|
  ENV['WORKERS'] = '4'
  t.rspec_opts = '--exclude-pattern "myproj/spec/home/*_spec.rb"'
end

and run it as:

bundle exec rake prspec

Thanks. I added the gem `parallel_rspec` and ran `bundle install`. Then when I ran `bundle exec rake prspec`, it gave me `rake aborted! LoadError: cannot load such file -- rails`. Any idea why? – danksim Jul 07 '17 at 14:41

Unfortunately no idea, I never ran into running `parallel_rspec` outside of rails as you supposedly do. – Aleksei Matiushkin Jul 07 '17 at 14:52
What `rails` version are you using? – danksim Jul 07 '17 at 14:53

Both `3.2+`, `4.0+`. – Aleksei Matiushkin Jul 07 '17 at 15:05
Thanks. I tried just tried the `parallel_rspec` gem but didn't work. I think I'll go with the `parallel_tests` gem. – danksim Jul 07 '17 at 16:45

I ended up using the parallel_test gem.

I added the following to the .rspec_parallel file:

--tag ~tagname1
--tag ~tagname2
--tag ~tagname3

This excluded the specs tagged with tagname1,2,3.
